Mission Santa Cruz de San Sabá was founded (established) in 1757 by Spanish Franciscan friar/priests in the Edwards Plateau, located in the Great Plains region of Texas. The mission was founded to convert the Apache Native Americans to Christianity. It was built near the San Saba River, which provided water for drinking, transportation, and agriculture. To keep it safe, Presidio San Luis de las Amarillas was built nearby. Unfortunately, the mission wasn’t successful. In 1758, it was attacked and destroyed by 2,000 Comanche and allied warries, who didn’t like the mission’s efforts to support the Apache, their traditional enemy. The mission was never rebuilt after that.

Mission San Juan Bautista
Mission San Juan Bautista was founded (established) in 1700 by Spanish Franciscan friar/priests, especially Father Margil de Jesús. It’s located in the Coastal Plains region, near what is now San Juan, Texas. The mission was founded to convert the Coahuiltecan Native Americans to Christianity. It was built along the Rio Grande River, which gave them water for drinking, transportation, and agriculture. The nearby Presidio San Juan Bautista helped protect the mission from attacks. The mission was pretty successful because it became an important place for teaching and community living, with many Native Americans converting and settling around it. It played a key role in the Spanish colonization of Texas.
Mission San Antonio de Valero, commonly known as the Alamo, was founded in 1718 by Spanish Franciscan friar/priests. It is located in the Coastal Plains region of Texas, near the San Antonio River. The mission aimed to convert the Coahuiltecan Native Americans to Christianity. Built close to the river, it had a reliable water source for drinking, transportation, and agriculture. The nearby Presidio San Antonio de Béjar provided protection for the mission While the mission faced many challenges, including attacks and a lack of resources, it was somewhat successful in establishing a community and spreading Christianity. However, it eventually became more famous for its role during the Battle of the Alamo in the Texas Revolution rather than its initial mission work.
